I have some questions about financing a trip. We are planning this trip to UK and we hope to make it happen, so I was thinking the other day, if there are any websites where you can finance a vacation for little or no interest? I don't like the idea of financing something at all unless it's 0% interest or very low, hehe, but we're at a point we have been thinking about this trip for some years and ...

The refugee crisis theme, who walk in an endless stream in Europe has died down a year ago. Today the media don't write about this, readers are no longer interested. Any news hook, even so sharp, becomes rotten with time. But the problem has not disappeared. When I was in Paris a month ago, I was amazed by the huge tent camps right under the metro overpass in the city center! Hundreds of people are living on the street in ...

Hey everyone, I am friendly4monsters and I reside in Lithuania. Not many people know about my country and that's one of the reasons they don't travel to Lithuania. But who know about it, do.

I'm open to pretty much any country; I have already lived in Norway for 1 year as an exchange student. I'm only looking into colleges taught in English, but the problem is most of them require 1 year of university prior to admission. Saying just "one year of university" isn't very specific, so I'm wondering what I ... [Posted by katiearmstrong - Nov 10, 19:49]

I’m considering going to central Europe between 19th and 27th November, potentially flying in or out of Budapest, Vienna and/or Bratislava. Is it easy to simply choose my incoming and outgoing flights now and book the first couple of nights accommodation, and then book subsequent trains, buses, hostels and hotels as I go along? Is it easy enough with only English? is it easy to cross the border from one country to another? And is there any location you recommend ... [Posted by yaakovdov - Oct 30, 08:56]
